Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I hope you all had a blessed day! Today was my first day off in over a week. It was amazing to be able to sleep in for a change. We made sweet orange rolls, sausage rolls and mimosas yuuuuummm. As stressful as the holidays were this year I am […]
Sometimes everything inside of me wants a soft buttery pretzel, but then there is dinner. Not everyone approves of soft pretzels for dinner (I know crazy to believe). So to make sure I pleased everyone at the dinner table I turned my craving into a roll for fried chicken sliders. These rolls have the soft […]
When I was younger our family always went to a pie shop in Florida after church. It is one of my earliest memories. The walls were bright white and the tables were half booth half swivel chairs. Wall to wall coolers filled with different pies. Coconut cream, pecan, pistachio, pumpkin, various fruits and chocolate cream. […]
What do you do when you can’t decide between a cinnamon roll and a danish? Well if you are me you make both. Together. As one. I was pouring the ingredients for cinnamon rolls into my bread maker when it dawned on me. I didn’t have to choose one or the other. Instead of […]
When I want chocolate, I WANT CHOCOLATE. This dessert has a dense mocha cake drizzled with rich ganache and topped with chocolate shavings. Did you ever watch that movie Matilda as a child? The scene where little boy goes on stage and sits in front of this enormous chocolate cake. Using his hands to eat […]
It has been raining in Georgia for the past two weeks straight. This crumb cake is all I can think about in this gloomy cold weather. It is so moist with a delicate crumb topping. I enjoy a slice with my coffee, but it could definitely double as a dessert topped with whipped cream. My […]
Who can say no to the buttery pretzel scent that is always lingering in the mall? Soft and fluffy drenched in butter. They have such a great consistency that is so difficult to replicate. Often times you find copycat recipes online that promise to deliver the same taste, but with wholesome ingredients. I always feel […]
Today we are tackling the Cronut. All over Pinterest I see recipes for these donut/ croissant hybrids. Flaky and buttery like a croissant, but soft and sweet like a donut. I did a simple glaze and chocolate drizzle on mine. Spoiler alert- I was not a huge fan of these. They were not bad, but […]
Have you ever seen the movie Whiplash? Miles Teller is a drummer being trained by an emotionally abusive teacher. Sounds depressing, but in fact it is absolutely amazing. Inspirational with fantastic music. The one scene that stands out the most is where his character dumps a box of chocolate covered raisins in his popcorn. Whaaaat […]
I love brunch. Saturday mornings are my lazy mornings. I do not have anywhere to be until my 11am yoga class so I take my sweet time getting ready. This morning the sun was shining, teasing me with the chance of a rain free day. Then came the storm clouds. Now […]
